    "content": "The issue of vaccines is very dear to some of us. It is a big lesson that all of us must learn, that whenever you plan for anything, you must be able to get the buy-in of the professionals. There was a lot of hullabaloo, including even myself, saying clearly that my cows will not be vaccinated. You will excuse my speech today because I have a small disability in my mouth, but I will attempt to maybe put my message across. The issue of vaccines is something which is very important. What we learned during the entire exercise, although I can still stand here very strongly and say I never allowed my cows to be vaccinated, there was a huge disconnect between the Directorate of Veterinary Services (DVS) and the county governments with regards to passing the information on the vaccines which were coming out mostly, which were foot-and-mouth disease (FMD). This House has been set up to defend devolution. When you see that there is a function that is supposed to be carried out by the county government, but the national Government is the one which is raising so much hullabaloo on it, then we, in this House, must be very careful so that we do not lose our functions, especially for our county governments."
